3 Prominent Educators Awarded Honorary Doctorates

 

 

LORD SUTHERLAND'S eminent contribution to the public service and especially the Higher Education in the United Kingdom has been widely recognised. His varied public service and contributions to society have resulted in numerous awards, reports and policy initiatives.

As to Lord Sutherland's service in the territory, he joined Hong Kong's University Grants Committee (UGC) in 1995 and served until 2004. Most notably during his tenure as a UGC member, he chaired the Teacher Education Sub-committee which advised the UGC on all matters relating to teacher education and produced the Review of Teacher Education in 1998. The Teacher Education Sub-committee, under his leadership, also supported the Institute in its early development.

 
His style of working is characterised by integrity, wisdom, charm and tolerance. In the course of the Higher Education Review for the UGC, Lord Sutherland consulted widely and listened carefully to the views of all stakeholders. The results of his efforts are embodied in the UGC publication entitled Higher Education in Hong Kong published in 2002. The farsighted document has provided Hong Kong with a blueprint for the development of its university system.
